Checkout my new gauge!

good news! Got my Blitz BLM installed and it looks nice. I bought it used and I thought I was going to get the blueish/white glow gauge. Instead I got the green/blueish glow gauge...I was pissed and was going to return it...until I installed it. I highly recomend these gauges! Its basically a black light and all the markings are floresent. The only downside is the blue/white part looks purple but you can't see it in the pic (the lens?). Its weird the Blitz letter looks purple (black light is under it), needle looks blue and the markings are floresent green.

I like the looks, however they don't match the car gauges at all.

Yeah...but I dont really like amber nor green. oh well I wasn't looking to match my instrument panel...I said I like the euro blue found in VWs and Audis.. i think it looks funky and defately stands out ...its very readable at night.

 

[03MSPRO]

it sounds like you already made up your mind....
I personally like the orange lights to match the rest of the gauges. We don't have a VW or Audi....

Doesn't the three have VW like gauges? Indigo blue I mean.

I know the Mazdaspeed 6 concept has blue VWish lights...

sorry to jack this thread but what guages match our instrument panel the best( orange/red). I would like to have psi instead of bar.

ive always liked the white look the hondas have. it just looks super clean compared to orangeish red/green/blue.

So what if they don't match...
What do you expect from a guy who makes fun of our president and then celebrates the results of his efforts as his sig?

Defi and VDO matches our interior pretty well.

Threadjack: CarlM2...I do not like Bush at all and Im not celibrating the results. I would type more but I dont want a flame war.

The AutoMeter Ultra-Light series gauges match pretty well.

 

[t3ase]

OrangeMSP had the same gauge in his car, which is now split50s. Definately a nice gauge.

The autometer ultra lights match almost perfectly. I have them in my car they look great. Sorry no pics at this time sitting at work.

Defi gauges have been the best match I have seen.

The 3 uses ectro-luminescent gauges like the RX-8.

Just installed my two 60MM Greddy Electronic Silver / Orange gauges a few days ago. Only 400 miles on the car and it's already got EGT, Boost, Turbo Timer haha Boost controller soon as well as DP and Exhaust.

What kinda mount did you get? I bought a Autometer 2-5/8 cup mount and it doesnt fit its about 66mm. Dont know why they made a cup mount for 66mm.

Like the other guys have said, Defi gauges are the best match hands down.

They are the only white faced, rear lit, red/amber illumination, in Imperial units (PSI) gauges that i was able to find. They cost a bit more then autometer but they are high quality gauges. I have heard nothing but good things about them.

VDO has some rear lit gauges you can get in factory illumination color, but they don't have white faces, and they aren't available in a white face with Imperial units.

I spent hours looking for and researching gauges and decided on Defi for my car. I have them sitting in my room ready to go in over the holidays.

If you are interested, I got mine from a member of the board, JDM SAM who is a Defi vendor: http://www.*************.com

I got the full a pilar dual pod from Auto Meter. I dremeled it out to fit in the 60mm gauges. They are perfect in the MSP. I will have to take some night time pics to show everyone but they are IDENTICAL.

If you have the money you won't be disappointed in the Greddy Electronic Gauges. Just make sure you get the Silver and Orange.
